This is why we no longer call bailey jay linetrapYou little faggots keep trying to revise the accepted terminology, maybe because you don't like the mental illness aspect of it, maybe because you like your girly boys to look more like boys than girls, I don't know. But you're flat out wrong.
Trap = any genetic male who can pass as a female. May or may not be transgender, may or may not take hormones, may or may not have had some feminization surgery (tit jobs, butt jobs, facial feminization, etc). The person is much more likely to actually pass if they're trans since they have a full time dedication to it, which means actual traps are more often transgender than not.
Tranny/Shemale = porn term for a transgender actress. They tend to have a bimbo look since that's what directors think their audience wants to see.
"Trap" and "tranny" eventually started to separate as categories due to a dislike for the bimbo look. Traps had more of a girl-next-door look, trannies had the bimbo look.
Now let's talk about where the terms came from originally. The term "trap" itself was born from posting shemales on 4chan and claiming they were women to get a rise out of anons once the dick was revealed. At its roots, traps were shemales. Soon after it turned into a masturbatory fascination and not just a troll routine. A few anons started posting not-quite-passing crossdressers in the threads which at first was met with ridicule from other anons, but soon became commonplace. Then the faceless attentionwhore crossdressers came in and started taking over trap threads, making most of the posts not even trap pics. Newfags came in, liked what they saw, and assumed thats what traps were all about. Wrong.
